Get Started Investing

Black Friday Sales are a global shopping bonanza. Alec & Bryce are a little distracted in today's episode as they scour the internet for Black Friday Sales and Christmas present shopping. But, with all seriousness. We delve into how differently we all react when there is a discount in the world of consumables ... compared to how we think about discounts in the stock market. People go crazy when they know they can get 15% off toys or TV's for Christmas presents, they'll que up outside a retail shop for hours ... yet when the stock market is down 15%, people will run to the hills. So let's arm you with the information why when the stock market is 'on sale' ... it's a good time to buy. ***** Looking for an investing book gift for a loved one this christmas?

We are here today to talk about Government sponsored savings. We are seeing more and more competition in this space. The second biggest asset manager in the world, Vanguard [https://www.vanguard.com.au/corporate/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1NebBhDDARIsAANiDD1Q4d1FPnm43i64i6bH1HOZgVL380zUX4OxTN5NHrPd1V9NGRm3DtgaAjPEEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds] have recently launched their very own Superannuation fund. Three years ago Vanguard gave about $100 billion back to the big Australian super funds. And now they have launched their own super fund with a management fee for 0.58% for most options. In this episode Bryce & Alec take a look at the ATO super comparison website [https://www.ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/YourSuper-comparison-tool/] and on first look, the Vanguard fees appear cheaper ... but be warned Vanguard’s fees look cheaper but are not so cheap when up against other Super Funds. Remember, fee's eat away at your returns. Head across to the Equity Mates Forum via our website [https://community.equitymates.com/] to see the spreadsheet that Alec has created to demonstrate the comparisons they found. ***** Looking for an investing book gift for a loved one this christmas?

So much of investing is about mastering your psychology. What you do with your money impacts so many aspects of your life. From short term, to long term. However, what money means to you and how you want it to work for you, will be completely different to what money means to another person. The number one characteristic that we all have in common is 'autonomy', to be able to do what we want, when we want, and how we want. Evan Lucas [https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-lucas-44a25316/?originalSubdomain=au] has written a book about it - Mind Over Money [https://www.booktopia.com.au/mind-over-money-evan-lucas/book/9781922611482.html?source=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyMKbBhD1ARIsANs7rEEefYn4GltNpQjyQzwZzCprDF6Te2Rl7oBMuEUGvdeKZyVj4Gqq7ysaAr-UEALw_wcB] and he featured on stage at The Equity Mates FinFest 2022.
